★★★★★
"We hired Emma as our realtor following a very warm reference from close friends. Once we started working with Emma, we shifted gears from simply checking websites and stopping by open houses that looked interesting to finessing our list of must-haves and want-to-have. Emma provided us an overview of the current state of the market, she was always on top of things and sent our way properties that fit the bill. When we found a place we wanted to buy, she gave us a portfolio with comparable sales to help us make an offer that was competitive but did not push our budget too much. She has always been responsive, and knowledgeable in every aspect of our communications. Just as our friends recommended her to us, we would highly recommend her to others."


★★★★★
"Emma is a true real estate professional. She is thorough, attentive, and knowledgeable. Her wealth of information about the Greater Boston Area and friendly demeanor made the entire condo buying process very smooth and stress free. I ultimately found the perfect fit and couldn't be happier in my new home. Thank you, Emma!"


★★★★★
"After many interactions with suppliers and dealers who responded slowly or not at all to my queries and comments, it was a real treat to work with Emma Guardia. Her energy and enthusiasm for my situation were heartening. Not waiting to ask about my concerns was key and Emma's rapid and informative responses were effective. I look forward to working with her on future sales when they come up - everything seemed easy."


★★★★★
"Emma and Roland are a formidable realtor team. Without being at all pushy they kept us on track with our search and helped us find the right property for us. They very quickly understood what type of property we were looking for and didn't waste our time with visits to properties that we would have no intention of living in. They also remained respectful of our wishes to remain within the budget we had set ourselves. They have great contacts that can help throughout the process from mortgage advisors to lawyers. They also provided first class after sales service with making sure all items agreed in the closing contract were completed by the seller. Not only that but they also helped with connections relating to interior design. We cannot recommend them highly enough."


About Emma Guardia | Roland Rambaud & Team

https://imgur.com/MngECgo

Emma has been helping clients navigate the ups, downs, and everything in between of real estate for over ten years. She lives in Huron Village with her family and their curious, cartwheeling daughter. When she’s not touring homes or crafting the perfect listing description, you might find her walking the loop at Fresh Pond, grabbing a coffee at Formaggio, or (trying) to tend to her garden.

Cambridge isn’t just her market—it’s her home. Over the years, Emma has lived in East Cambridge, the Radcliffe neighborhood, and now Huron Village, and she owns several investment properties throughout the city. Her lived-in knowledge of these neighborhoods gives her a rare perspective and a deeply personal understanding of what makes each corner of Cambridge special.

We know buying or selling a home can be nerve-wracking, which is why we make it our mission to keep the process as laid back as possible—even fun. We always have time to listen, share a joke, or hear a family story. We're smart and upbeat, easy to be with, and completely focused on making your experience both stress-free and successful.

We Speak Technology

We’re ahead of the curve with the latest apps and maps to answer client questions, make the search easier, and prove the adage “a picture is worth 1,000 words.” This reflects our affiliation with Compass, America’s first modern real estate company, as well as Emma’s own expertise in the digital space.

No app can care about how you're feeling today—but we can, and we do.

ON TARGET MARKETING Buying or selling, were serious about success.

In partnership with the award-winning team at Adams Design, we recently unveiled a bold, story-driven campaign featured in Harvard Magazine. This arresting piece, developed with creative director Brenda Adams, reimagines real estate marketing through a high-concept, editorial lens. The image—a striking blend of elegance and precision—reflects our core philosophy: Target marketing isn't just a strategy, it's an art.

Playing off our name, "Enguardia" evokes the finesse and focus of fencing—a perfect metaphor for our approach. We’re agile, calculated, and always a step ahead. Like a skilled fencer, we know exactly where to aim, crafting every listing and marketing plan with discipline and flair.

This isn’t marketing as usual—it’s marketing elevated. Because in a competitive market like Cambridge, it’s not enough to show up. You have to show up sharp.
